Which Windows wallet not download full blockchain

[Fernandez]

Electrum or multibit.

I personally prefer to use the full wallet, but it takes almost a day for first time use. After that it operates normally though the load time is still somewhat higher.

you can try electrum or multibit
a lot of people using it, nad seems to be don't have a problem with it
and don forget to lock your wallet 

Lock it with a good password and use special characters. Don't forget it too. Always, make a backup of your wallet if you are using Multibit and if you're using Electrum, backup the seed.

I personally prefer MultiBit, but Electrum is also good. Both of them are good for your purpose.

No matter which wallet you use, do not forget to make regular backup of your wallet and also keep substantial amount of your BTC in 'cold storage'.
(Google for more on cold storage & paper wallets)

Online wallets don't require downloading the whole blockchain file but they are also less secure then Offline wallets .
I would recommend you using Multibit or Electrum , and If I had to choose between those two I would say Electrum because you don' thave to make Regular backups to your private key or wallet and you can recover your Bitcoins with a 12 words seed in case of a computer failure .

Multibit HD solves this.

Hi All,

Newbie here. I want to install a wallet on my Win7 Pro pc. I was doing some research and from what I can understand some wallets require that you download the whole blockchain and some don't. I have very limited bandwidth so I definitely don't want to download the whole thing.

I googled "Comparison of wallets for Windows" but didn't find anything useful.

Which Windows wallet is best that does not require the whole blockchain to be downloaded?

I also have an Android phone (5.0.1) so if you think the Android wallets are much better let me know.

Thanks for helping a newbie. Cheers,

Advait

I personally used Electrum for my desktop wallet, just need sync, dont need to download the data and i dont have a problem with that wallet Looks like all guys here prefer to Electrum
